I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 324 Learning from Duke Cui
It's impossible not to be excited about Cui Lie's return to the position of Sangong.

Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to buy Situ through his connections in the first place, only to gain notoriety? He was even ridiculed by his son for smelling like copper.

But this time he returned to the position of the Third Duke, he did not spend any money, he was fair and aboveboard! In front of everyone, he stood tall!
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"There is no need for you to be polite, Mr. Cui. Please sit quietly... I am interested in rebuilding the Hongdu sect. You should already know about it."

"Yes, I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"

Of course Cui Lie knew, but he didn't understand why Liu Bian mentioned this matter to him. He couldn't let him send his son to the Hongdu School to support the school, right?
Liu Bian took a book, put it in front of him, where Cui Lie could see it, and said: "There are fourteen schools of Five Classics in Taixue, which are used for teaching assessment. Hongdu School has newly established various disciplines, but there are no classics." It is the foundation of learning.”

Cui Lie saw Liu Bian's actions in his eyes, and when he heard these words, he caught a glimpse of the book with the Four People's Monthly Orders written on it. His heart moved and he couldn't help but think about it.

Sure enough, the next moment, sweet words came from Liu Bian's mouth: "From what I have seen, Cui Shiggong's "Four People's Monthly Order" is more accomplished in agriculture than "The Book of Pan Sheng", and I intend to regard it as a great masterpiece. In addition to using it as the foundation of Dumen studies, it also reminds future students to take agriculture as their foundation.”

"That's why I found Mr. Cui today. I wonder if Mr. Cui is willing?"

Cui Hao, Cui Shi's son, was not an official and was not in Luoyang, but as Cui Shi's brother, Cui Lie was qualified to express his position.

In the name of agriculture, it is better not to change.

Since the book has been used, it is of course not a bad idea to serve as a role model, and Cui Lie agreed simply.

After Liu Bian met the family members of the parties involved and formally established Cui Shi as the benchmark, the next thing fell into place.

Although Liu Bian adopted Guo Jia's suggestion as the foundation and banner of agriculture, he did not want to limit it to agriculture. You still have to have dreams.

He hesitated for a moment and then suggested: "Your Majesty, the newly established Hongdu School is different from the past. I think it is better to change the name to show the new idea."

Otherwise, virtue will not be matched and it will make people laugh in vain.

Even when Cui Shi passed away, because his family was destitute, even the funeral was handled by Yang Ci, who was then Guangluxun, and several other nine ministers. Yuan Wei, who was Hongluxun at that time, even built a monument in his honor.

After thinking for a while, Liu Bian asked: "Did Mr. Cui think of any good names?"

Cui Lie also knew that the name he thought of hastily was not good. In fact, with his knowledge, he can't really think of a good name.

Cui Lie was very old, but he was full of energy at this time, and he hurriedly agreed: "This matter is beneficial to the country, and I have no right to respond."

After damaging his reputation by buying Situ, Cui Lie has been somewhat sensitive in this regard for a long time.

Moreover, there are a few officials who came from Hongdu School and are still active in the officialdom, such as Liang Hu, who is always forgotten.

Liu Bian added: "In addition, I have looked at Cui Shigong's resume, and there is no doubt that he is a wise man worthy of being emulated by his disciples. What do you think?"

For example, the schools of Piyong, Chengjun, and Yuxiang are all good names from the pre-Qin Dynasty. However, in Cui Lie's stereotype, the school is not worthy of such a title, even if his disciple Cui Shiyao Become a sage in your studies.

Although Hongdu School has a bad reputation, it has been brilliant for a while and has a certain influence among the people. Black and red are also red!

Liu Bian didn't pay much attention to the name. After all, the new sect would be very different from the old one. The greatest value of Hongdu sect to Liu Bian was that the name was set by the late emperor.

Liu Bian was speechless for a while. He thought Cui Lie could come up with a good name.

The first is to set an example. Cui Shi's political achievements and achievements in Confucian classics when he was an official are all said... and because he left the official position and returned to his hometown in the later period, he still had time to sort out his political opinions and other records. In addition to "The Four Encyclopedias such as "Min Yue Ling", which favored manor planting, and "Political Commentary" were also quite influential.

Cui Lie just felt that the reputation of Hongdu School was a little bad, so he mentioned it like this. He couldn't think of a good name in his haste, so he thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty not only benefits the people with his school, but also shows the importance of the saint of Nongsang." "I mean, what do you call agriculture?"

Although there is a stain like Liang Ji, the flaws do not cover up the flaws.

Following Liu Bian's public praise of Cui Shi and his "Four People's Monthly Order" in a court meeting, and connected it with Hongdu sect learning.

All of a sudden, Xiyuan's "Four People's Monthly Order" was quickly sold out in Luoyang's bookstore that sold printed books. After all, Hongdu's disciples did not take classic exams at the beginning, and used "chishufu and Gongshu Niaozhuan" as the criteria for assessing official status. The grand occasion is still before our eyes.

No matter where you are, there is no shortage of people who want to take shortcuts.

Fortunately, Bi Lan, who was in charge of these things, had already prepared and quickly restored the supply. The quantity was large and the supply was sufficient, and he made a small profit.

Jijiu Lesong even made repeated orders in the Hongdu School, requiring all current students of the school to learn from Cui Shi!

Cui Shi is not like a saint who can only follow his back. The contemporary people can completely follow his footsteps.

Cai Yong was very busy, not only busy with Taixue, but also busy with Hongdu School...

Taixue is doing better. With the help of Zheng Xuan and Jijiu Yang Zhong, the assessment and other things are on the right track.

However, teaching at Hongdu School was like starting from scratch. Cai Yong originally considered deliberately keeping Le Song busy, but later he discovered that there was no need to deliberately do so and he couldn't stop at all.

Not only the sources of students, but also the teachers responsible for teaching (Hongdu Literature) Cai Yong must be carefully selected.

Even if the original Hongdu School did not select scholars based on Confucian classics, it still had to hang portraits of Confucius and his seventy-two disciples in the school when it was first established. For Cai Yong, he looked down upon the craftsmen from Bi Lan and below in Xiyuan, and it was impossible to introduce sects to the craftsmanship. The teachers he sought should not only have talents in corresponding majors, but also not be too bad in Confucian classics.

And whether he is a teacher or a student, Cai Yong is worried about leaving full authority to Le Song. He has to review it himself before he can rest assured.

Under Cai Yong's high standards and strict requirements, there are still no teachers for the tentative subjects such as agriculture, implements, and livestock, but he has made great achievements in mathematics.

Today, the number one person in mathematics in the Han Dynasty is undoubtedly Taishi Ling Liu Hong, who is good at calculation and is unique in the world.

As early as when Cai Yong was continuing to write the "Book of Han", Liu Hong was recommended by Cai Yong and served as an official in the Taishi Official Office, where he studied laws, supplemented the legal records in the "Book of Han", etc., and later He was released as an official.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Xian summoned Liu Hong to Beijing to discuss calendar reform because the Qianxiang Calendar compiled by Liu Hong had just come into being.

Historically, Liu Hong encountered Dong Zhuo's rebellion before he arrived in Luoyang on this trip. The calendar matter ended without any problem, and Liu Hong was also appointed as a foreign minister with two thousand stones. The Qianxiang calendar, which he introduced to the uneven motion of the moon, was finally applied in the state of Wu with the efforts of his disciple Xu Yue and others.

But this time and space were of course different under the influence of Liu Bian. Liu Hong returned to Beijing smoothly and became the Taishi Ling, leading the new calendar reform.

For Liu Hong, a Hongdu literature was obviously not enough, but it was different for Liu Hong's disciple Xu Yue.

Cai Yong came forward, and Hongdu Literature in Mathematics was at his fingertips.

But Cai Yong is not fighting alone. The energy of Shangshutai and Sangong's Mansion is much higher than that of Taichang Cai Yong. How can he stay out of it?

Even if Cai Yong agreed, Liu Bian would not agree.

It's just that those who can meet Cai Yong's standards are rare talents, and they are still within the scope of the Six Arts of the Gentleman. There are ready-made Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing in medicine. However, if you really study farming, mulberry farming, animal husbandry, etc., in the eyes of the world, there are many suspicions that you are not doing your job properly.

Even if someone really has this hobby, it is possible to avoid talking about it for the sake of reputation.

If it really doesn't work, we can only lower our requirements.

There was a problem with the selection of teachers, but after Liu Bian's multi-pronged approach, it was no longer a problem for the students.

While all this was going on steadily, Taiwei Ma Rixi, who had not recovered from a long illness, resigned again. Liu Bian made no attempt to retain him this time, allowing Ma Rixi to recuperate at home as a servant like Yang Xu.

At the same time, he worshiped the chariot and cavalry general Huangfu Song as Taiwei from afar, and led his troops to stay in Yanzhou as before.

There is a precedent for this matter. The last person to be worshiped as a Taiwei in this way was Zhang Wen.
